The English as a Second Language Program at UNCW is an intensive academic program designed for English language learners at a high-beginner to advanced level of language proficiency. Students receive 20 hours of language instruction per week, and have a choice to study for five weeks, eight weeks, or the full semester. On-campus housing is only available for full-semester students, so homestay is an ideal option for students in the shorter programs.  UNCW ESL Program works closely with Do Host Family International Homestay, LLC, a homestay organization that provides homestay placements and management services. Host families provide airport pickup and drop-off, a private room for the student, transportation to and from school, and breakfast and dinner each day.
